memories
The last ever flyer given out in phase one at this gig advising that Friars was no longer welcome at the new Friarage Hall 

 
odds and trivia
This was the last Friars Aylesbury gig at the Friarage Hall. The hall itself was knocked down in October 2007.

Whatever you hear to the contrary, God Gave Rock and Roll To You is an Argent song. It is NOT a Kiss song.

This original line up came back to Aylesbury in 2014 to play a charity gig at the Waterside.

 
what happened?
Argent: Henrit (from 1984) and Rodford went on eventually to join the Kinks. Argent has continued a successful career often touring with Colin Blunstone at The Zombies. In 2008 a full Zombies band and The Yardbirds toured together (including Rodford who whilst involved in getting The Zombies going never played with them in their heyday). Ballard went on to be a successful songwriter (Hot Chocolate and Roger Daltrey amongst others)
